More Maui and 1st Birthday

Bye Maui, I'll be back soon!

No, this is not Ava!
We captured this amazing shot from the condo of a humpback whale breaching out of the water. I could not believe how many whales we saw while in Maui. On our last day they were swimming just a few yards from the shore, they were so beautiful!

Ava's not so sure about this sand after all, especially the taste.

No, we did not send her out to sea-wow, she's such a drama queen!
But this did make for a great photo opportunity.

Ava was not a fan of the birthday hat, or maybe it's the barrette that's bothering her?

"Cake, what cake?"
That is the caption from 1 of my favorite birthday cards. Although it doesn't really apply here since you can see the big piece of cake on her plate-but still, I love it! Almost as much as Ava loved her cake and ice cream.

Happy Birthday Ava!
We can't believe you are 1, and by the look on your face you can't either?!

One of Ava's most favorite birthday gifts was from her cousin Lauren, she lived in this raft in the pool for a few days.

There were no bathtubs in Maui, only jacuzzi sinks-it really is the latest craze!
